As part of a class project (MECH 3351: Design of Mechanical Systems), my team and I were tasked to design shafts for a car transmission gearbox. This was an open-ended design project, we were only given the input and output torques of the system to constrain our analysis. The goal was to integrate static load, stress, and deflection analysis with dynamic fatigue analysis and FEA simulations to design the shafts and pick appropriate materials for the gearbox design.
As team lead for the project, I was responsible for all the high-level project management, including coordinating the team, planning our workflow, and meeting project deadlines. At the end of the semester, our entire team received A grades for our project.
